See below for WHY I have this dilemma.



Drat. Drat drat drat.

Pros of Final Fantasy V on iOS:

• It's got the giddy GBA script which I love (a sample of which is in my userpic). The Playstation translation was flatter than Yuna's voice acting. When I played originally, I had a copy of the GBA script next to me to reread all the lines. But it didn't include NPC dialog.
  
• It will allow me to screencap, as opposed to sticking a camera in front of my TV.
  
• Extra job classes and a bonus boss (this is not so important to me).
  
• Paying silly price for old game. (Not really important; birthday is next week.)

Cons of Final Fantasy V on iOS:

GBA Final Fantasy V:

PSX Final Fantasy V (this is what I've already got):


iPad Final Fantasy V:


It's odd... the avatars look more Amano-like, but for once, the snooty artsy style takes away from it a bit, to my eye.
